    Obviously they were Swiss.

    (The white cross on red, not because they are racist which… they surely are on average but that’s not the point…)

    I am sure that most of the bipeds who find this shirt offensive are White supremacists, but to be honest I can see somebody disliking it solely for its violent content; some people are so squeamish that even seeing oppressors dying can activate a visceral reaction.

    I know that hangings are relatively mundane, but try to imagine somebody applying sharp objects to an SS trooper’s particularly sensitive areas and maybe you’ll understand.

    Its offensive, or rather triggering, to people who have lost someone to suicide, specifically if this was the chosen method.

        I don’t even know how to respond to you. Your comment seems utterly tonedeaf to me, but the upvotes seem to say the opposite. I’ll just say that it’s not healthy to always be angry. Besides all the politics and the polarisation in society, normal life still goes on with all it’s individueal joys and sadnesses. Don’t forget to take a break and experience life every once in a while.

          Take your own advice and stop crying on the internet over depictions of a dead cartoon Klansman t shirt and go back to the Charlie Kirk memorial where you came from.

              Nice try, but this is not suicide. The point of the cartoon is irony. The Klansman is a symbol of racial hatred who historically used lynching as a tool of terror. He is being killed by his own symbol, the Confederate flag. It’s a commentary on how hate consumes itself. You’re purposely interpreting this as a commentary on suicide. This is like seeing a war movie where a soldier is shot and claiming it’s offensive to people who lost a loved one to a school shooting. The method of death is the same, but the context is entirely different.

              Shut the fuck up now.

                Of course that is what it is. I was making a counter argument. That is what the picture was literally asking for. Maybe it was a rhetorical question, but I answered it. I am sorry I hurt your feelings with that.

                  Nice try with projection. My feelings are not hurt, I think we all know who’s feelings are hurt in this situation.

          I’m quite chill, not american, have lost a close person to suicide, hate the whole black and white sportsteam US nonsense life, but this tee-shirt does not depict suicide, hence your downvotes.

            I don’t think the person who found their rommate hanging in the kitchen after a night out, cares much if the picture of a hanging person is a lynching or a suicide. It gonna trigger the trauma in either case.

              Then that person needs help with the trauma, getting upset over a statement tee-shirt is a sign they didn’t deal with the loss.

      Quit your BS.
      Anything is offensive to someone.
      Your abbadon name from the hebrew bible just as your 420 suffix.
